Mark Perna has created the missing piece in the puzzle of the younger generations that we've been trying to solve blindfolded. This book is going to change the game for students and parents everywhere." --Paul Galbenski, 2012 Michigan Teacher of the Year, Dean, Oakland Schools "This is an incredibly important message that will change the face of education and workforce development in this country." --Cathie Raymond, deputy associate superintendent and state director of Career and Technical Education, Arizona Department of Education "Answering Why is a marvelous tool for workforce development and education organizations across the country.

Organizations that are looking to build a robust learning and training culture should start with this book. Bravo!" --Jimmy E. Greene, president and CEO of ABC The Greater Michigan Chapter and The Greater Michigan Construction Academy "Mark has created a comprehensive playbook full of insight while dispelling the mainstream myths concerning the younger generations.

This is an essential read for anyone looking to influence education and the greater global economy while lessening the skills gap crisis." --CyLynn Braswell, executive director of College & Career Readiness at Northwest Independent School District "Educators have long been searching for a cohesive set of strategies to engage today's young people.

I'm proud to recommend this book to all parents and educators looking to make a bigger difference for their students!" --Christy Perry, superintendent, Salem-Keizer Public Schools "Mark is fantastic at explaining the pressures and expectations weighing on the younger generation entering the workforce. Written for those looking to hire and retain Generations Y and Z, this book outlines who they are and how we can empower them to turn the business world on its head." --Christine Hassler, generational expert, keynote speaker, best-selling author "This book will remind educators and workforce development professionals why they care about students and careers. As a member of the Millennial generation, I found the specific examples and real-world success stories compelling. By opening the conversation with useful and practical steps to reach the Why Generation, Mark Perna is working to reframe mindsets about how we connect students to careers. Answering Why will be the catalyst to change our thinking about this critical topic." --Jen Schottke, vice president in the construction industry, elected board of education trustee, millennial, and parent "Engaging. Accurate. Insightful. Mark Perna truly understands how the older and younger generations work (and sometimes don't work) together. His insights will spark productive conversations and challenge the stigmas that have held the younger generations back in today's workforce." --Adam Robinson, founder and CEO of Hireology, author of The Best Team Wins "Youth culture today impacts everyone--Gen X and Baby Boomers along with Gen Z and Millennial stakeholders.
